WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA — Provocative and original, Channel 1 Releasing launches the premiere episode in the first season of their new dramatic sex series “Raising the Bar” today.

The series stars C1R exclusive Jimmy Durano, Steven Daigle, Adam Killian, Mitchell Rock and Conner Habib as five oversexed friends who compete to decide who can outdo each other in the sex department, raising the bar of their sexual antics to orgasmic proportions. As they each capture their darkest and dirtiest sexcapades on amateur cams to present to each other, a carnal game is created that separates the boys from the men and may even separate the friends from each other.

In addition to this season’s series regulars, “Raising the Bar” is also set to co-star C1R exclusive Brent Everett, Landon Mycles, Jock Hudson, Jason Longh and introducing gay XXX newcomer Billy Byron.

Every episode features a brand new sex scene edited to include real amateur footage the performers have shot themselves from their own digital cameras, phones and webcams spliced with the high-definition professional gloss director Chi Chi LaRue is known for, giving fans the best of both worlds.

The screenplay for “Raising the Bar” written by JasonCurious.com porn blogger Jason Sechrest, is one of the edgiest from C1R to date. In the first episode alone, Steven Daigle offers straight bartender Jock Hudson an indecent proposal, paying to pound his straight ass while his wife waits outside for him in the car. In a future episode, Adam Killian hosts a sex orgy with strangers where he snorts cocaine off his fuck buddy’s cock.

With each installment strung together by the plot of the competition and what it does to their friendship, the five fuck addicts meet back at their favorite bar to show each other their latest sexcapades every episode.

“We’re always looking for ways to combine what’s hot at the moment, with what we’re really good at doing,” says “Raising the Bar” director and C1R studio owner, CHI CHI LARUE. “It started with ‘Steven Daigle: XXXPosed,’ combining the idea of amateur homemade sex tapes you’d see on these tube sites with our own high-end production values. Now, we’re not only continuing that theme, but stepping it up a notch. When we decided to start updating the C1R site with new exclusive sex scenes every week like a lot of other sites do, we thought, ‘Why not string them together with a hot, dirty story?’ It’s something that hasn’t really been done before.”
